Happy Halloween 2007
Halloween might be my favorite holiday. You decorate your house and your yard, you get lots of candy, and it’s a nice chance to show off your boy to the neighborhood. You don’t have to drive to anyone else’s house and you’re not required to buy anything for anybody (aside from candy). The only problem is that you don’t get the day off from work. I suppose I should call off on Halloween next year.
Nikki brought Zach and Dylon back for “Trick or Treat” this year. Zach was “Captain Jack Sparrow” and Dylon was “Captain Hook”. We got plenty of pictures of them in their costumes, along with Aiden in his “Dumbo” suit. We took Aiden around the block in his stroller, and all of the neighbors said how cute he was. It was time for his supper though, so we dropped him off at home with Chrissy once we made it all the way around the block. She fed him on the porch while she handed out candy.
Highland only allows children to go Treating from 5PM to 7PM, so it was a race against the clock to get as much candy as humanly possible within two hours. We covered about three blocks by 6PM, and the boys were already complaining about being tired (and the bags were getting heavy, and it’s cold out, etc.). Nikki and I told them about how we would leave to “Trick of Treat” immediately after school and not come home until ten o’clock at night. If the porch light was on, you were fair game, and we gathered candy until we couldn’t walk anymore. Uphill, both ways, in three feet of snow!
